in which you and Harry got matched for a penpal thing back in middle school (but it's been 10 years now since you've last corresponded and you'd pretty much forgotten all about him)- when out of the blue he reaches out through social media: he's mov...

It was a nice day out, and you decided to surprise your boyfriend with an impromptu picnic. You knew he had a short day at work, what with it being Friday and all, and so you packed your little basket along with a blanket and everything you needed and took a cab to his company's studio.
You were going to drive to the picnic spot in his car (you didn't have one and was frankly scared of the prospect of driving, so you didn't even want one), since it was a remote place the two of you had accidentally found while you wandered off in a national park one day while on your bicycles. You'd spotted that cute little clearing in the forest and you both agreed that would make a perfect spot for a picnic one day.
You knew Harry would admonish you for carrying all the stuff to his work instead of having him come to pick you up from home directly, but that would've ruined the surprise factor. And you loved surprising him. You loved seeing his eyes sparkle with joy. Harry was such an expressive man, you never tired of watching him. He wore his heart on his sleeve. He never held back.
The basket was indeed quite heavy, but you were sure to pack everything Harry liked. Despite his appearance, he had quite the appetite. He was just naturally fit, his fast metabolism seemed to burn all those calories as though they were nothing, and he did work out a lot as well, but he didn't overdo it. You loved the bit of pudge he'd put on his lovehandles sometimes. Made him look adorable.
You, on the other hand... well, you weren't so lucky. You were always very careful with what you ate, counted your calories, went spinning, even did some yoga- but you were just always on the curvier side. A bit chubby, is how you'd have best described yourself. No matter how well you tried to balance your diet and exercise, you still could not slim down enough to fit your ideal standard. Maybe it just wasn't in the cards for you.
Harry, however, loved your body, and he didn't shy away from letting you know just how much. It had taken you by surprise. He could've had anyone he wanted; personality aside- he looked amazing, and could have had his pick at anyone. You'd not have expected him to be attracted to you. Guys like him normally went for similar body types- models, dancers, fitness enthusiasts, etc. But he'd somehow settled for you, and you could never wrap your head around why that was.
At first you thought maybe he was just drawn to you because of your bond from all those years back. Finding eachother after a decade since you'd been penpals in school without having met had been such an amazing experience! At first you thought to yourself, he was just being nice. Then, you thought he was just experimenting maybe, and that surely once he got to see you naked he'd run for the hills.
It'd taken you a long while to fully open up to him, partially because of your insecurities, and partially because of your lousy experience with your ex who had treated you badly. You didn't want to lose Harry, you'd grown very attached to him in the 2 months you'd been dating, and you were scared to blow it all off once you'd finally have sex.
But then you took the plunge and it'd left you completely speechless. Not only had it solidified your relationship, bringing you impossibly closer, but he'd not ran for the hills- on the contrary. He seemed to be quite literally obsessed with your body ever since.
